### Step #1: Clone the Github repository on your computer <a href="#step-1-clone-the-github-repository-on-your-computer" id="step-1-clone-the-github-repository-on-your-computer"></a>

By opening your Command Line Interface, you can run the following commands to, first, clone the repository, then go inside the newly copied folder:

```
git clone https://github.com/tornadocash/ui-minified.git
cd ui-minified
```

### Step #2: Serve the Folder with Your Favorite HTTP Server <a href="#step-2-serve-the-folder-with-your-favorite-http-server" id="step-2-serve-the-folder-with-your-favorite-http-server"></a>

```
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080
```

You can obviously use any other http web server, such as[ npmjs.com/package/http-server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server).

### Step #3: Run the UI on Localhost on your Favorite Web Browser <a href="#step-3-run-the-ui-on-localhost-on-your-favorite-web-browser" id="step-3-run-the-ui-on-localhost-on-your-favorite-web-browser"></a>

To finish, you just need to run <http://localhost:8080> on your Web Browser & let the magic happens 🪄

## Running a TOR service <a href="#running-a-tor-service" id="running-a-tor-service"></a>

If you wish to serve tornado cash UI on an .onion domain, there is an easy way to do it using docker-compose.

* You need to paste the following into `docker-compose.yml`

```
version: '2'
​
services:
  tornado_ui:
    image: tornadocash/ui
    restart: always
    container_name: tornado_ui
  watchtower:
    image: v2tec/watchtower
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
    command: --interval 60 tornado_ui
  tor:
    image: strm/tor
    restart: always
    depends_on: [ tornado_ui ]
    environment:
      LISTEN_PORT: 80
      REDIRECT: tornado_ui:80
      # Generate a new key with
      # docker run --rm --entrypoint shallot strm/tor-hiddenservice-nginx ^torn
      PRIVATE_KEY: |
        -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
        ...
        -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
```

* Then, just run the following command:`docker-compose up -d`
